Good day to be blue

First, the corrupt politician from TX-22 resigns. Then the Massachusetts legislature passes a plan to provide health insurance to all. That makes two steps in the right direction....left!

It's a good day to be a fan of good government...

DeLay resigning from the House isn't going to push anything to the left. I don't think that a Kennedy is likely to win in the Texas 22nd district. I'm generally glad that DeLay is resigning because he was hurting his party while he was still in the House. I'm far from convinced that he has done anything inappropriate (though I am open to the possibility he did something illegal).

The Massachusetts health care bill seems like an excellent bill combining policy preferences of the left and the right. I'm a bit concerned that companies may not be willing to offer middle income people reasonably priced individual coverage, though, which the bill depends upon. Definitely a reasonable experiment, though.

Why are you moving back to Cambridge? And are you bringing your better half back as well?

NRAO, for one. Plus some huge mountains, a giant gypsum sandbox, lava flows, canyons, desert, forests, Smokey the Bear, 17th century ruins, cliff dwellings, ferocious winds, softball-sized hail, etc. You know, the usual.
